Individual differences in two emotion regulation processes: implications for affect, relationships, and well-being.

TLDR
Five studies tested two general hypotheses: Individuals differ in their use of emotion regulation strategies such as reappraisal and suppression, and these individual differences have implications for affect, well-being, and social relationships.
Abstract
Five studies tested two general hypotheses: Individuals differ in their use of emotion regulation strategies such as reappraisal and suppression, and these individual differences have implications for affect, well-being, and social relationships. Study 1 presents new measures of the habitual use of reappraisal and suppression. Study 2 examines convergent and discriminant validity. Study 3 shows that reappraisers experience and express greater positive emotion and lesser negative emotion, whereas suppressors experience and express lesser positive emotion, yet experience greater negative emotion. Study 4 indicates that using reappraisal is associated with better interpersonal functioning, whereas using suppression is associated with worse interpersonal functioning. Study 5 shows that using reappraisal is related positively to well-being, whereas using suppression is related negatively.

‘Put on your poker face’: neural systems supporting the anticipation for expressive suppression and cognitive reappraisal

TL;DR: In this paper, the intention to suppress emotions was associated with increased activation in the right inferior frontal gyrus, bilateral putamen, pre-supplementary motor area and right supramarginal gyrus (FWE-corrected).

Mediating Social Anxiety and Disordered Eating: The Role of Expressive Suppression.

TL;DR: Results from mediation analyses indicate that the relationship between social anxiety and disordered eating is fully mediated by expressive suppression, consistent with a displacement theory in which unexpressed negative affect is shifted towards the body, thereby promoting symptoms of disordered Eating.

Implications of emotion regulation strategies for empathic concern, social attitudes, and helping behavior.

TL;DR: This research tested whether relying on suppression to regulate one's emotions would lead to decreases in empathic concern-and related downstream variables, such as negative social attitudes and unwillingness to engage in altruistic behavior-when learning about another person's misfortune.
